Hearing Loss Clinical Trials

A Clinical Trial seeking patients for a research study for the treatment of Hair Disease.

The new cochlear implant system is indicated in individuals with serious hearing disabilities who do not obtain benefit from appropriately fitted hearing aid(s). Cochlear implant surgery is safe, but as with any surgery, possible issues or device related issues may occur. The risk benefit balance is well known in cochlear ...

Unilateral hearing loss (UHL) is a term used to describe a substantial hearing loss in one ear and normal hearing in the contralateral ear. Despite normal hearing in one ear, these individuals experience reduced speech perception in noise, variable abilities on localization tasks, increased reports of hearing handicap, reduced quality ...

Cochlear implants are used in the cochlea (part of the inner ear) where they send electrical signals for activation of the auditory nerve to restore hearing to deaf patients. For patients without a functioning auditory nerve, there is an auditory brainstem implant (ABI), which is placed on the surface of ...

The ability to predict post-operative outcomes after implantation is important for a number of reasons, including being able to advise candidates of appropriate expectations using evidence based guidance. The approved study involves investigation of the ability to predict outcomes in the implanted ear alone and in the best-aided binaural listening ...

This study evaluates the long term safety and effectiveness of the Nucleus Hybrid L24 Implant in a group of newly implanted adults.

The purpose of the feasibility study is to examine audiological outcomes (audiometry and speech perception) and safety (adverse events and adverse device effects) with the Nucleus CI532 cochlear implant in group of adult subjects (n=12) who meet current criteria for cochlear implantation.

Purpose To evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of the Esteem Totally Implantable Hearing System (hereafter called Esteem) in subjects suffering from moderate to severe hearing loss. Questions The following questions are to be answered: Is Esteem effective through 1 year follow-up? Is Esteem safe through 1 year follow-up? Is ...

Participants will be asked to complete the Goldman Fristoe Test of Articulation along with several other assessment tests. Then speech treatment, guided by Opti-Speech, will be provided to the participant for up to 10 treatment sessions. The participant will be asked to come back after the final treatment for a ...

Optimising the clinical fitting of a cochlear implant to an individual listener is an important aspect of post-operative clinical care. The level of success experienced by any individual with a cochlear implant can be influenced, to a significant extent, by the quality of the clinical programming by the audiologist. During ...
